THE COLUMNS
Height, majesty, grandeur . . . aspi¬

How easy to pass over the unselfish
and the tireless efforts of those about
us in our own efforts to attain

awareness of the "little things" around us that
are the portrayals of the real is the aim of this

The President and members of the college faculty take
this opportunity to wish those of you who will soon leave us
genuine success in your chosen life work. To those who will
leave as graduates of this college, we extend congratulations
and express a hope that your life as a teacher may be an
abundant one. Your professional study has been centered
around tho instructional activities in the laboratory schools
throughout the entire junior and senior years. Your program
of student teaching has provided for wide experience in the
teaching of subjects and for contact with all grade levels.
Two major outcomes are expected: First, your knowledge
will have been unified and made functional in a teaching
situation; and second, your personal powers have been so
developed that your teaching should be effective.
To students who have completed two years of academic
work, and who expect to remain at the college and complete
the additional two years of the four-year teacher-training cur¬
riculum, or to transfer to other colleges where you may secure
full junior standing for work satisfactorily completed here, and
to prepare more specifically for your chosen life work, we pre¬
dict a bright future.
To those of your number who have been here but one
year and who expect to transfer to another college at the close
of this year, where more technical work may be secured, we
trust that the courses completed here will have prepared you
well for your sophomore year.
To such students as will not attend any college next year,
we feel that we have assisted materially in preparing you for
the vocation of living.
During your stay with us, whether it has been for one,
two, or four years, the college authorities have attempted to
orient you to real college work, guide you in your studies, and
extra-curricular activities, aid in the selection of a life work
adapted to your respective interests and abilities, and to assist
you in the solution of many educational, economic, citizenship,
health, spiritual, and vocational problems.
May each student who has had the opportunities offered
by our college, ever strive to live up to the high ideals which
the members of the student body and members of the faculty
have earnestly attempted to exemplify.

A new day is bornl Yes, the rays of the
sun have only within the last twinkling passed
over the rim of the world; their light, reflected
as yet from only a few bright particles, has
inspired the babes of that dawning to seek a
fuller and richer happiness in the living of that
day.
Toward the enhancing of that sought-after
happiness, they have chosen to enlarge their
backgrounds, and so to bring into use a larger
scope of vision of that day and the next day's
physically dead but mentally immortal.
This happiness, they have found, is not only
enjoyed at a cost. In fact, it is even remuner¬
ative in itself. To be happy in one's occupation
is, indeed, the greatest happiness as yet
achieved by mankind. That feeling of know¬
ing a thing well done; of being fully equipped
to make the most of the day yet in its infancy;
of elation at the knowledge of the fact that
one is more capable of enjoying that happi¬
ness that comes into watching nature in its
budding infancy with a knowing interest as it
proceeds toward some useful end; these all
add to the zest of life, but not one-half so much
as the feeling that one has in some way (great
or small) enabled the babes of the day to
achieve more happiness than their normal ex¬
istence would bring into their reach.
With the aims: to be able to live more hap¬
pily themselves, and to enable the coming
generations to encompass its life in a happier
medium, we, the present senior class, have
seen fit to extend the term of our life's orien¬
tation through the addition of knowledge of
the arts and sciences with the hope that in
GO doing we may make the light of this day
more bright by increasing the number of re¬
flecting facets in the jewel brains of the babes
of the next dawning. Thus far have we been
looking ahead. But there will be numerous
fond recollections and unwanted memories as¬
sociated with the sojourn at this temple whose
stately portals in their majestic beauty ever
look down on us with pride in our happiness.
Can you recall the first moment when you felt
the movement within of some new-born plea¬
sure as the result of a new listening to that
unfinished masterpiece? Can you remember
the intense self-satisfaction at finding that a
great thinker of some past day agrees with
your pet theory that all your associates have
laughed at and scorned? Can you visualize
the feeling of success at having imparted some
bit of tinted glass through which some babes
of tomorrow will be able to live with a greater
happiness? If you can, follow that road to its
ultimate end and be happy.
Now, with the future a brilliant outlook
toward the enchantment of life, and the past
medium by which this enrichment is brought
about, can we not say we are ready to live
today?
But the sun hastens on in its life-giving,
glowing arc. Even now it shines above the
mid-morning with a challenging brilliancy. If
we are to accept that challenge, we must be
off. Au revoir, if you, too, would seek such
happiness, follow.

Teetering on the shaley cliffs that shade the valley
of Nepenthe,
Creeping up the crannied crags that rose above
Nepenthe,
Stumbling, falling, rising, crawling.
Climbing, climbing.
Climbing upwards, ever upwards.
Upwards,
Upwards to our goal, we'd go.
Upon the trembly mountain-mass on high
Beneath a single beam of strong, white light.
Which showed our weakness and the quaggy
ground.
We stood and stared into the outer, vaster night.
Which shrouded us . . . our light . . . our knowledge
mound.
Trembling on the towering heights that showed us
life's immensity.
Peering into the darkling mists that veiled the face
of verity.
Longing, aching, hoping, praying.
Seeking, seeking.
Seeking knowledge, always knowledge.
Knowledge,
We, teachers of the truth, must go.
Samuel Sherwell, '37

Leaving the Drury Lane theater, between the
second and third acts of "Le Monde Apres La
Guerre,” my mind wandered over my own ex¬
perience prior to 1957. I thought of the great
war, that had completely changed the political
map of the world. I thought of my own war
career, which had ended so disastrously with
the loss of my right leg; then, vague memories
of other happier days appeared.
Ages seemed to have passed since the time
when I stood with the other seven members
of my graduating class, and received my de¬
gree. That was in 1937, twenty long years ago.
1 wondered what ever had happened to those
people whom 1 had learned to know so inti¬
mately, and who had now drifted far from
sight.
As the picture of myself standing on the plat¬
form, erect, self-confident, came back to me, a
sad smile flickered momentarily on my lips.
The war had changed all that. Seeing hun¬
dreds of men die, knowing thousands were
dying (far better men than I), had changed my
feelings to a truer if less flattering opinion of
myself.
I lit a cigarette and began to ruminate on
my school friends. The last I had heard or
seen of them was ten years before, when Sam
Carey had removed my leg. They had told
me that Helen Smith was married to an insur¬
ance agent who was, at the moment, an act¬
ing captain in the artillery. At the same time
Carolyn Riley was at headquarters decipher¬
ing foreign codes, while Louise Parker was
entertaining the members of the High Com¬
mission at" Washington. The others had slipped
out of the picture by then.
School days in a different time and three
thousand miles away — ? A class trip to Wash¬
ington, using four cars; Mr. Caruthers, Mildred
White, Norris Bachtelli, and I drove. In my car
were four girls, Harriet Burns, Margaret Aus¬
tin, Carolyn Riley, and Rebecca Adams, and
what fun we had had . . . getting lost in Wash¬
ington . . . missing the other cars by a few min¬
utes at the monastery . . . stopping the car for
Margaret, who was very sick . . .driving home
late Sunday, barely missing a huge Grey¬
hound which tore into view around a sharp
curve.
26
Then to my dreaming mind came snapshots
of those happy, mad years. Twin Lanterns,
fire alarms, Crisfield, Pop's Schack, River Road,
night raids, picnics, doughnuts, coffee, Thomp¬
son's Grill, Mayflower, then to Lil's, dances and
more dances . . . and the undercurrent under
the froth . . . Where are we going? How will
we make out in school? What's the use of it
all? And beneath the surface we were being
molded, formed into definite individuals . . .
the lava was flung into the air by mighty
forces, and cooling before it landed, took, each
piece, a unique shape.
Slowly but surely our class had diminished
in numbers. Dixon, Morton, Mitchell, Spence,
Towers, Cissel, Howard, and many others were
lost in the reshuffle of a new term. The class
of fifty had dwindled to thirty-five, then to
twenty-two, and after the three-year course
ended, only five of the original class of '36
returned for the degree course.
Of course there were a few others in our
group to graduate in '37. I remembered Louise
Parker, Raymond Jump, Dorothy Pruitt, and
Frances Robinson; they had all come back for
a degree.
By that time most of us had settled down,
were very sedate, and filled with the weariness
of the sophisticate; it seems impossible that we
really had thought so.
About the most vivid recollection of that
fourth year was the class trip to Philadelphia,
to hear a concert. We had heard Kirsten Flag¬
stad, and had we been thrilled! The ride there
and back had been filled with a great deal of
comment, especially between Carolyn Riley
and myself. The others would join in, thus
making it very merry.
The curtain bell rang, and snuffing out my
cigarette, 1 mingled with the crowd returning
to their seats. I walk slowly because of my
new leg, so many people pass me on the way.
Four middle-aged ladies nudge me as they go
by, and upon lifting my eyes from the ground,
I behold old friends. Carolyn, Helen and Dor¬
othy, walking together in gay conversation;
they had not seen me, and my first impulse was
to let them go by, but thinking better of it, 1
called to them.
They turned, but did not recognize me; they
glanced through the crowd, and I, suffering
from self-consciousness, did not address them
again. So, like ships in the night, we crossed
paths and separated into the unknown again.
After the play was over, I decided to find
out something about my old classmates with¬
out their knowing it. Twenty years seemed too
long a break to span again in friendship. I
called up the Bureau of International Vises,
and asked the Under Secretary, who was a
friend of mine, to give me all the information
which he might possess. He was very oblig¬
ing in the matter, visitelling it to me in a half
hour. While we were chatting, he mentioned
a message which had come to the office for me.
I opened it and read;
"Gathering of the old clan. 01 '37 is
painting the town red tonight. See us at
the Hotel McPherson at eighteen o'clock.
Sam."
27
I was certainly thrilled. So that was why
the girls were together the night before. 1 was
so overjoyed 1 wanted to dash right down, but
decided against it, thinking that I'd better pre¬
pare for the night. 1 went down to the Haber¬
dasher's and bought a green sweater in stock
and a tie — what a flaming hue — then I ran up
to my room, as fast as my leg would let me,
and dug down until 1 found an old pair of
brown checked pants. 1 put on a blue shirt,
brown shoes, dark brown socks with red rings,
the patents, tie and sweater. Then called up
the garage and ordered my car.
By the time 1 had purchased a small gift for
each of the old pals, the clocks were showing
seventeen o'clock, so without further ado, I
drove over to the Hotel. Despite the huge size
of the lobby, I espied the group right away.
Helen was sitting, as used to be her custom,
smiling, and not saying a word. Louise Parker
was busily chattering with Sam Carey, who
having grown corpulent and quite hairless,
acted pleased. Carolyn sat in the center of
the group, looking very bored and smoking a
cigarette. Raymond had left a very dear friend
for the sake of this meeting, and was com¬
menting on those who passed to Dorothy, who
was almost convulsed with laughter. Frances
Robinson seemed very quiet, and a little sad,
though Jean Koch, who was sitting next to her
was pointing out several handsome men at a
distance from the group.
'When I reached them, they all stopped talk¬
ing. An air of incredulity spread over their
faces; when I said hello, they gaped as if at a
creature from the other world. The war had
certainly changed me far more than any of
them, and my heart sank; after a while they
got over their shock, and began to chat of old
times. Once the grotesqueness of my features
had become familiar, they began razzing me,
in the old way, about my clothes and my
habits.
A furtive tear started, for while we were
trying to be desperately gay and familiar, it
was of little use. We were strangers. At the
first hour of the new day, I begged to be ex¬
cused and left with a burnirig heart for days
never to be replaced.

Among The Sophs
The enrollment of S.T.C. is 125 girls and 77
boys. According to statistics, this allows 1.62
girls for each boy. This may be all very well,
but what can a girl do with .62 of a boy?
We wonder just what charms or magnets
1. L. D. uses to acquire so much attention from
so many different members of B.. 'Fess up,
Irma Leel
Blonde hair, brown eyes, and a Texas accent!
Can you wonder that our men are not always
sane?
When a boy and a girl find each other's com¬
pany so desirable that they share no dances
at the sophomore formal, we would say that
"the Lemmon is having its Day."
Wilson Duncan: "Anna Rose, do you have
your dance program filled?"
Anna Rose: "Well, nearly. Do you really
want a dance?”
Duncan: "Oh, sure, I'm not particular who I
dance with."
Here's one for you: If "IT" — Ira Todd and
Willamae (according to Todd) equals "IT"
what does that make Todd to Brocato?
What do the freshman girls have that the
sophomores lack that a certain blonde one can
transform a former bashful, studious sophomore
boy into a dashing Romer?
Is it a psycopathic case if two people named
"ferry" wander around murmuring their own
names?
What maroon-haired sophomore boy had to
have the company of a petite freshman even
while he was in the infirmary?
These Eastern Shore boys will visit the West¬
ern Shore, even though it has an unhealthy
climate, won't they, Mickey?
Ruby Gay is taking an interest in St. fohn's,
and Tom White is interested in Drexel. Where
is your school spirit, sophs?
Who is the thrill of the female stag line?
Hint: His last name begins with "H" and he
hails from Preston.
What pink-haired sophomore boy with a
heavy beard comes to class well-shaven these
days? And the razor is bladeless?
Bailey admits he hates the town of Crisfield,
although the people are O. K. But we thought
she was the one who needed glasses.
Riddle: Who in the sophomore class talks
most and says the least?
Answer: Bobby Cannon.
1936 and 1937 will be a big year for the
S. T. C. society boy, Hugh Darling.
I
Did Romeo have "horns" or fuliet have
blonde hair? Those in S. T. C. do.
David Perry has found his "Cours-ey" little
difficult, but now he's getting "Moore" out of
life.
Did Dr. Straughn name his "seven and a half
pounds of girl" chemistry or algebra?
Katheryn Gross is "Hitching her star" to a
Russell.
To which freshman girl is it that Betty Culver
sings: "You Turned the Tables on ME?"
Vivian Ellis is setting the styles for comb¬
ing her hair for at least one person — How about
it, Lillian?

SOPHOMORE DANCE
Carrying out the standards which we set last
year for a really good dance, the 1937 Sopho¬
mores provided on January the fifteenth all the
essentials — good music, appropriate decora¬
tions, and plenty of rhythmic souls — for one of
those evenings of eveningsl
WOMEN'S
The sophomore girls still contribute substi¬
tutes for the basketball team; they'll make first
team some day. Our subs are Sherwell, An¬
thony, Hutchison, and Pastorfield. Here's a
hip and a hurray for Disharoon who has made
the first team and is a sophomore. Of course
if Hutchison would devote her time to basket¬
ball instead of "Beowulf" she might become
captain of the team. We also want to advise
Miss Anthony to stop sliding down "Greasy"
sliding boards and maybe she won't be butter-
Credit should be given to Ira Todd as chair¬
man of the decoration committee and to Dor¬
othy Wilkins, Vivian Ellis, and Lillian Hutchi¬
son for their co-operation with "Miss Ruth" in
providing refreshments. All in all, we're proud
of success and can say "Here's to more and
better dances in the future!"
ATHLETICS
fingers when it comes to making baskets. Pas¬
torfield seems to be afraid to play rough be¬
cause she might "Shinner" knee.
Sophomores, now don't get too discouraged
because maybe we did do a little better in field-
ball; at least there were more out to support
our class. So let's stick together, and certainly
we can make our future years more success¬
ful.
MEN'S ATHLETICS
The 1936 soccer team would have been much
less successful had it not been for the gallant
array of sophomores who graced its ranks.
Captain I. T. Todd, who held down the center
forward position, was the stellar performer of
the season. "Inky" Davis, hard-kicking full¬
back, ranked with other collegiate booters of
this state, while Burton and Hubbard were his
able aides in the back field. "Rainbow" Bailey,
"Joe" Day, "Red Circle" Wheatley, and "Dave"
Perry were the fleet-footed forwards who
passed and shot their way to victory for
S. T. C.
We sophomores can not only boast of soccer
players, but also of basketball stars. Four of
the five regulars were sophs, not to mention
the "second-stringers." This includes such
cagers as Captain Day and his running mate,
Ray Bailey who, as forwards, wrecked the de¬
fense of the opposing guards. Wheatley and
I. T. Todd as guards did fine defense work
throughout the season.

Sophomore Ravings
(With Apologies to Edgar Allan Poe)
Once upon a morning cheery, while folk woke, some gay, some weary.
In many a drowsy, sleepy village of the sounding shore,
While some nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of many loudly rapping, rapping at a ponderous door.
" 'Tis some visitors," J. D. muttered, "tapping at my college door:
Only this and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly we remember, it was in the mild September,
And each normal one among us wished himself on ocean shore.
Eagerly we wished vacation; — vainly was all calculation
Used to solve our dismal station — back to work, now, on the Shore — ;
On the rare and radiant haven which the dwellers name the Shore — ;
Books for almost evermore. ,
And the sound of our own coming to this huge and carven portal
Thrilled us — filled us with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of our hearts, we stood repeating,
"We are visitors — long-time visitors, entering at thy college door;
This we are and nothing more."
Presently our souls grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said we, "or Doctor, truly we your sympathy implore;
For the fact is we were sent here, so unwilling when we went here.
That we faintly all came tapping — tapping at your college door —
Hoping that we wouldn't find you — but you opened wide the door:
So here we are and nothing more."
42
Deep into the hallways peering, long we stood there wondering, fearing.
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence then was broken, — J. D.'s smile gave forth a token.
And the only words there spoken were the merry ones, "Come ini”
These we whispered, and an echo murmured back the words, "Come ini”
Merely this and nothing more.
Back now to the college turning. Sophomores, proud souls all burning.
Doctor Blackwell heard no tapping, gentle, timid, like before.
But instead he heard a banging, heard a loud and noisy clanging.
And so frightful this our banging, banging at his college door —
That he all but feared to answer — here we opened wide the doors;
"Doctor, greet the Sophomoresl”
Doctor Blackwell stared in wonder at the miracle beheld.
There, before him, stately students — such he never saw before.
Soon recovered, greetings made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
And with smile like lord or lady, gazing from their ornate door — ,
"Welcomel friends, 1 scarce did know you, rushing through my college door
Enter now, and wait no morel”
Sophomores we are no longer, but we finish gladly, for
Holding old and making new friends two more years are held in store;
And we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever more was blessed by seeing friends more true than in our door; —
Friends more loyal and more faithful than within our college door.
Bequeath we this for evermore .
Lawrence Freeny, '39.

IN MEMORIAM
ROBERT M. WHITE
Born July 27, 1919 Died May 26, 1937
BOB WHITE
Joyful heart, why smilest thou not this day,
When of all days your heart should be gay?
Why liest thou so cold, so still.
When all your friends are living with a will?
Stricken as a woodsman fells a tree.
Falling with a crash from all that life can be.
Leaving behind you, sorrowing friends.
Aching hearts, stunned beyond the aid of tears.
Why should this be?
That ever as earth gave up its mourning
As flowers bedeck the earth and throning
The sun, once more in its blue dais;
I
Thou shouldst leave us, that thou shouldst die.
Oh! happy youth, where are your smiles?
Where those charms, that were wont to show,
Wherever, and ever where, thou didst go?
Was it meant to be like this?
One last laugh.
And then flung crushed.
With helpless arms upraised in pleading gesture,
Only to fall again beneath death's pressure.
Goodbye, then, if fate does will it so.
For though it be parting, we, too, must go.
And in the love which is our God
Thou shalt live, until, losing our sod.
We, your friends, your family,
Shalt be with thee, in God,
Samuel L. Sherwell, '37.

"ENTER THE 100”— FROSH
" Twas a clear morn in September. Yells
and laughter disturbed the peace of the still
autumn air. The occasion? Freshmen, of
course, who else would make such a din? In¬
deed, no others had the inclination. To the
upperclassmen college life was no longer a
novel event to be embarked on with joy, sor¬
row or misgiving. But to the freshmen it rep¬
resented a momentous event, a milestone of
life, a challenging element.
First there was the important matter of get¬
ting acquainted.
"Hey, girlie, how about a date for tonight?"
"I'm Harry McCann. What's your handle?"
"So you're Goldsborough! My name's
Hunter."
In such a manner ran the conversation.
Then there was the task of arranging a sched¬
ule, sort of bewildering too, to one who never
before had heard of such strange things as
Al's, B3's, C4's, or other goofy divisions.
It seems there are devious ways to initiate
one into the mysteries of college life. There
were rat rules galore; the girls suffered only hu¬
miliation, but the fellows bent to sterner or¬
deals. Then the sophs insulted the freshmen
lads under showers to cool their burning pos¬
teriors. Shame on the villainsi
But soon the verdant (know what that
means?) freshies settled down, except for occa¬
sional outbursts, and attuned themselves to
serious concentration and study as well as to
the maelstrom of social life with which they
became associated.
Finally, there was the not so difficult busi¬
ness of choosing class officers.
Harry, my boy, you should feel honored . . .
and you. Dotty Ann, what would the class be
without you?
Afterward came "All Student Night," the
Hallowe'en party and other glorious events.
Who shall forget the freshman formal? What
a wow!! A little bird whispers (bob-white,
bob-white) that Doc Simonds thinks so too —
and fever blisters! Was her face red?
So on until the present. The class of '40 is
now the hub of the wheel around which col¬
lege life revolves, even if it doesn't think it's
one-tenth as good as it really is.
Nevertheless, school life rolls on; there is no
turning back . . . only hopes for the future.
Up at six, to breakfast, to class . . . study . . .
lunch . . . more study . . . recreation . . . dinner
. . . dancing . . . bed . . . sweet dreams . . . such
is the life of a typical freshman, but you must
remember that the freshmen of today are the
seniors of tomorrow, the graduates of the day
after, and finally the nucleus of a nation.
We know not what our fate shall be, but,
possessing that indomitable spirit essential to
success, we strive for the heights. Next year
our number may be reduced by transfers or
withdrawals, but wherever we are, whatever
our occupation, happy will be our thoughts of
S. T. C.
47
A LOOK FORWARD
On a preceding page Mr. Elliott has aptly
described the experiences of the past year.
Now let us analyze that year in relation to its
value to us as college freshmen and as young
men and women with careers ahead of us.
At the beginning we were green, inexperi¬
enced, awkward, bashful, and rather doubtful
as to what was ahead. We had vague notions
of what college life might be and were visual¬
izing hazy dreams of brilliant careers in our
after lives.
During the past year, through mental and
physical gymnastics, extra-curricular observ¬
ance of the big world outside, our aspect of
life has been broadened, our confidence in our¬
selves strengthened, and all in all our person¬
ality indexes raised by several degrees. Our
grip on the wheel of life is firmer. We have
lost our tenseness and are now able to look
life in the face and say, "1 can and I will.”
What shall we do with this background?
Those of our group who will now enter life's
swirling tide may use it as the very foundation
upon which to build their careers; surely it will
prove a foundation of bed rock.
Then, a number of us will never again enter
the portals of S. T. C. as sfudents; instead we
shall further pursue our preparation for life in
other institutions of learning. There we can
say with confidence, 'Tf I succeeded at S. T. C.,
1 can do it here;” and the rest will be easy.
The majority of our group v/ill reappear for
another year or another three years within
these walls. In that case, it will merely be the
continuation of the past year plus a greater de¬
gree of happiness and self-development.
So, you see, the picture is bright after all. We
are young; we have the greatest opportunity
ever offered American youth; and above all we
have within us the courage and confidence
that only a year in college can give.
Let us regard with happiness the memories
of the past, industriously strive with the prob¬
lems of the present, and anticipate with joy the
pleasures of the future. And in after years may
the past be filled with such happy thoughts
and refreshing memories that we may be able
to pass from the scene of action with the satis¬
faction of knowing that whatever we did we
did well.
48
A NOTE OF SYMPATHY
The members of the Freshman Class, knowing of your recent sorrow be¬
cause of the untimely death of your largest and most sprightly gold fish, have
asked me to extend to you their deepest sympathy. We feel that we may
attempt to compensate for your deep loss by being even more alert during lec¬
ture and lab periods than we have been recently.
Swimmingly sympathtic,
Elmer,
For your Freshman Class.
CARD OF THANKS
Doctor Teacher thanks kind Elmer
Eor the sympathizing letter.
On the passing of the goldfish
On the lonely, empty lab dish
On the mischief and the noises
Which detract from College Poises.
Doc receives the kindly letter
As the sign the Class means better.
Let the goldfish be a token
Of a friendship never broken!

Student Life
at
S.T. C
In those years at S.T.C. we were a merry crowd. Remember? It was in
April of '37 that the Sophanes Players put on their mighty production "She
Stoops to Conquer" . . . On December 12 that the Glee Club made another
broadcast over WBAL . . . "Rain, listen to the patter of the rain" . . . And the
Men's Chorus warbled unusually well "Send my boy to Salz-ber-e" . . .
In the same year the Christian Association initiated the famous Round
Table discussions, and the Grange prospered under its master, I.T. The Bag-
leans and Carneans finally got together across the tennis courts — or did they —
The Women Day Students at last received new book containers . . . and the
Men Day Students featured in chess and ping pong tournaments.
The Athletic Association was headed by Caruthers and Thompson . . .
"Ice cream, sandwiches" sang the Home Association at nine-thirty every
night . . .
And Perkins and the P.S. worried everyone — with camera informality.

As the mother organization of all college

It is the aim of the Council to be of service
to the College in whatever way possible. The
students desire that a strong spirit of coopera¬

As a means of representing the student body

This year the Christian Association decided
that the best way to encourage enthusiasm,
pep, and interest, was to get at the heart of
youth in the theme topic "Youth Problems.”
Regular meetings, known as Round Table dis¬
cussions, were often devoted to the discussion
of such problems as: "Does college weaken or
strengthen religious faith?'', "What is the suc¬
cessful life?'', and "Is the Bible out of date?”
Sunday evening Vesper Services, welfare
work and attendance of various youth confer¬
ences were other enjoyable activities of the
year. Cn April 9-10 the Christian Association

joined with the Council in sponsoring a youth
conference for high school and college stu¬
dents.
The theme of the Christian Association may
well be expressed in the following Youth
Creed:
"I believe in the wonder of the out-of-doors,
in the inspiration of the stars; I believe in the
strength of the hills, in the silence of the night,
and in the music of the birds and trees; I be¬
lieve that my body was made for action, that
my mind was made for thinking, and that my
heart was made for loving.”

GREETINGS FROM PEP
I've been soliloquizing a lot lately. Thinking of the time when I first came
into existence. Thinking . . . Thinking ... of history that is implied in what I
stand for . . . Thinking . . . Thinking . . .
Guess it's been a long time since Miss Matthews, Miss Wilson (now Mrs.
Thomas) and Miss Marshall took that walk down by the railroad and planned
the name of society and that of friend Mickey's. A long time since I crowed
so jubilantly for our basketball team against the Bagleans in the old Y. M
C. A. building. How proud I was theni
And the years have passed on — each bringing with it joy, happiness, fun
for us Carneans — we sometimes being good enough to win the laurel wreath,
sometimes not. Always every year friendly contests: story-telling, basketball,
tennis, spelling bees, plays, and in the late years, declamations, debates, short
story writing and poster contests.
Yet, somehow, I've been feeling sad of late months. They say Mickey
and I are old — not needed any more. Not needed — nay — not wanted. Why?
Is it because of something that we've done?
But, oh! joy — spring is here again. From where I am perched I can see
the beauty of the green, green grass on the campus outside; I can hear the
merry whistle of the birds come back from the South, and I can feel the warm,
warm breath of the sun.
And I have new hope — new joy! I am glad for my existence! Glad for
all that lies behind me! I am reconciled to the Will of the Fates!

The Sophanes Players this year have con¬
tinued their experiment ol last year in having
laboratory plays produced by student coaches
at each meeting. This, in addition to being a
very enjoyable plan, has brought to the front
much hidden talent.
"Enterprising Oswald,” a Christmas play,
was given before the Wicomico Woman's
Club just before the holidays. This play and

"The Country Slicker” were presented before
the school assembly. A short one-act play,
"Red Carnations,” was also produced for the
Student Conference, April 9 and 10.
The major production of the year, however,
was Oliver Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Con¬
quer” on April 21 in the college auditorium.
This was produced with elaborate sets and
beautiful costumes.

The Order of the Patrons of Husbandry, com¬
monly known as the Grange, aims to serve the
best interests of the people of the open country.
The Grange in this school bases its bid for
fame upon the fact that it was the first Grange
to be organized in any normal school or teach¬
ers' college in the Lfnited States. It flourished
successfully for eight years, had a setback, and
last year was reorganized.
This year, with thirty members and a corps
of very energetic and cooperative officers, it
has progressed rapidly. Meetings were held
regularly the second Wednesday in each
month; neighboring granges were entertained
and visited; the district play contest was par¬
ticipated in; several officers attended the an¬
nual state meeting at Hagerstown; and all
state and national requirements were made.
The Grange is one of the most effective or¬
ganizations for instilling into young people the
ideas, characteristics and problems of the open
country.

Ping-Pong — Ping-Pong — the noise of the
balls striking the table fills the room with the
sound that gives the game its name. The spec¬
tators hold their breath. The tournament ap¬
proaches its climax. Ping] Laws misses; Pusey
is the winner of the Ping Pong Tournament
sponsored by the Men's Day Association.
But ping pong is but one of the many activ¬
ities in which members of that organization in¬
dulge — Checkers, chess, pick-up sticks — all
form a part of the recreation and mental stimu¬
lation, which among other things, fill with zest
and pep the life of the day students.
Maybe the resident students enjoy more
social participation than the day students, but
don't they just wish they had our liberty and
fun. Yeah, manl

success.

"Third quarter, score, State Teachers, 56; opponents, 42!"
Spirit! Enthusiasm! The whole school is behind the activities of the Ath¬
letic Association and follows them with great interest. And why not? The
A. A. represents the school, although in a different capacity from the other
associations.
Soccer, basketball, and baseball are varsity sports, but other provisions
are made for those who do not excel in athletics, but use games merely for
recreation.
Among the various forms of athletics may be found volleyball, tennis,
dancing, ping pong, archery, and fieldball, each of which is organized by
either Miss Helen L. Jamart or Mr. Benn Maggs, directors of physical educa¬
tion for the college.
The ideals of the association are expressed in the words of Mr. George
W. Wingate; "Athletics promote promptness, quickness in emergencies, self-
reliance, control of temper, square dealing and determination — all of those
realities which will but enable you to bear yourself manfully into the great
battle of life."

Extract from a Letter to Miss Ruth Powell
Dated February 8, 1937
from
Miss Lucetta Daniell
formerly of Columbia University
I think I have not answered your last remarks, or thanked
you lor that beautiful book. I have now read every word in it,
from cover to cover. A fine set of young folks, — just fine. And
after searching for a junior class, I grasped the fact that you
were trans — well, can't think of the word, but the normal school
is becoming a four-year college. Right? So glad to have this
book, such fine work in itself, and gives me a perfect under¬
standing of the whole plant, and all concerned.
May you,
Miss Daniell, and
all who see it, enjoy
another Evergreen.
Our sincere
thanks to everyone
who helped in its making.

CAMERANTICS
What lurking shadows are these that haunt our halls and campus? What
manner, or form, of evil is abroad? Shi there are rare, clicking sounds every¬
where, intermingled with many a hearty gigglel Ah, now I know, the snap¬
shot contest! Anywhere you may see the elusive "snapshooter” with his cam¬
era in hand and his subject at hand. Then suddenly, he's gone; gone to new
fields of conquest. You won't see him hanging from tree limbs trying to get
unusual shots, but you may see him in any odd corner, squinting his eyes and
squirming about, trying to get a good shot. The prize is just as good as in his
pocket; doesn't he have that photo of some of our best athletes doing daring
deeds, and that one of the two beauteous damsels ogling the "Most Handsome
Man''? Well, this won't last long, and then we can settle down to our old
routine, until next year.
